Our Families

Why we are here today.

A while back we were intent on finding out why we are here. We wanted to know what is important in life and how we could be intent on solving it. I wasn’t all that engaged nor that concerned with it. But I was alarmed with the big no-no’s being entertained in the discussion. Could we get by without a core guiding pass? I didn’t know, but I was sure about one thing. I knew we needed God in our path or there would be no meaning attached.

Say What?

Now, we’re chugging a long with some good and some bad impressions. Can we clean it up? I think so. People need a good point to build upon. A good point is a positive definition for leaning into and claiming home. How so, you may ask. Well, it’s finding that which is good and makes life worth living. Life can be bad or good and many places in between. So how can I find something which is good all the time and doesn’t change one iota?

I’m a Christian writer with an ear to the ground. I want to know what people are thinking despite what the inner circle has to say. We are impactful people. We get clues where we look, whether it’s up, down or in between. What we have to do is look carefully at the world we live in and see if it remains true to our set beliefs and conditions. If so, we are looking in the right direction. If not, we must look again and keep looking until we find the things that are infallible.

You See. . .

Let’s say, we’re talking about God. How does God make it in the seven day forecast and not get blown away when life happens. If you really start looking for Him, you’re going to find Him. For God is anxious for you to find Him. But He is not interested in having you kick the tires and go away. He expects you to take a serious look underneath the hood. There you will find what you seek. It may take quite a few looks but that doesn’t matter. God is real. He is so real that you cannot deny His presence.

In time you will find Him. Call His name out. Wait. Believe. Call again. You may not find Him on your first look but you will find Him. How do I know this? He who calls upon His name will be found. God delights in having you find Him. He knows you will seek Him until you find him. He calls out to you until you hear Him. Don’t question His leading. It literally doesn’t matter how hard you reach out to Him. He is always near even when you think he is not. God is always waiting for you. He will meet you with open arms. He will embrace you, no matter the choices of your life.

Trust Him. You’ll be glad you trusted in Him. He loves you so very much. Trust Him to show you.

A Positive Heartwarming Story

 Positive Story: J. Landrum 8-30-2020

I met the neatest veteran of WW11 and Korea at the bank. I saw his hat and walked over to thank him for being a hero. We talked awhile as he shared stories of battles he was in. When I told him Brandon (her son) was killed in Afghanistan he started sobbing. We held each other’s hands as we both cried. He said he still remembers the men who were lost. He gave me this coin to help me remember that Jesus is the only hope.  In God we trust! God bless America and you sir! Kindness matters.

Home Again

It’s so wonderful to be home again! I love being in my own place. It welcomes me back with open arms. I know God is gracious to me, and I thank him.

Today is a cool, wet day, but I’m not complaining. God has been with me, for that I am more than grateful. My dad went to glory last month. I praise His Father in heaven for taking him home. That must have been glorious. How absolutely wonderful!

We gathered together, all fifty of us, and remembered the gift of his life. He always had faith. It was the real deal that springs up naturally and gives praise to God for the beauty of living on His earth. He was remarkable that way.

Sometimes I am quieter than I used to be as I think of the gifts he gave me. Honesty was one of the most fluid and great gifts he gave to his family. His words were honest, from the heart, or he didn’t utter them. That’s the kind of man he was. He lived what he believed.

I loved my father. I’m glad that he was a true man. A man who was true until the end of his life. He lived 93 years and 4 months before he passed on. He was a wonderful father. I’m so glad I was his third beloved child.
